Most of you know I love to take pictures. But to capture the moon like that, you need the right camera.
Even with a phone camera, it takes the right "eye" to "see" the right angle to capture the right picture.
I also just like looking at pictures. I came across this one that had a caption of the name of a plant. This is a Double Angel Trumpet.
A lot of you might not know that plant or remember the name Cricket. She was the first person that asked to be my friend when I joined Not Over The Hill in 2008. The above picture is her Angel Trumpet plant in her front yard.
While Cricket is no longer with us on earth, her Angel Trumpet plant lives on at my home just as she lives on in my heart. She would take cuttings in the fall and root them over the winter. She sent me a couple of cuttings and I still have one growing in a tub. It is inside our garage today because it is cold. It has been pulled in and out (in warmer weather) of our garage so many times over the years (hundreds) and will soon be at home in our backyard in another month when the weather stays warmer.
Every time I spoke to Cricket with all her health trials, she would say she couldn't wait to get to Heaven and have a "Woo Hoo Party" with Jesus. I was blessed by her friendship and I am also blessed by your friendship.
It is Thursday and the weekend is getting closer. Let's find something fun to do today.
Instead of sitting on a bench, let's sit here on this tree in Hawaii and visit.
We can take a road trip in our minds. Were you ever into the Hippie era? I still love long hair on guys. And boy did our parents hate it. Kind of like we feel about a man bun now. Sorry if you have one.
Did you ever stop on the side of the road to eat... not at a roadside park but on the tailgate of your station wagon? I still love those cars. Remember the ones with the back seat facing the rear view?
I will admit that I LOVE Mopar and the bigger the engine and the faster it goes, the more I like it. We both still have our motorcycle endorsement on our drivers license even though neither of us own one anymore.
Some things last forever, like Multnomah Falls. Some things get more valuable with time, like old cars.
Some people age well... like my girlfriend and I shopping and having a fun time together.
Then some things just get better with time, like Robert and I. I love him more every day. I hope you are as blessed as I am.
After coffee, let's take a trip outside today. What shall we explore?
Oh look! Birds have laid eggs. Babies are hatching. "I am all alone! I am hungry! Where are you?"
"Stop yelling! I am here now. I am working as fast as I can to feed you!"
"How many are in there? How can you all be hungry at the same time?"
"I think I found a new home for us." Have you seen any babies yet this Spring?
Our neighbor next door has been sharing the new family of birds (eggs to hatchlings) that need a new home instead of in their security camera. Can't wait to find out what kind of birds!
But maybe their old home was turned into a flower pot. Great ideas for tea pots, don't you think? I do hope you enjoy my rants. I love you all.
May you, your children, your grandchildren, and all your family & friends know Jesus and may we all meet one day in Heaven. Don't forget to share Him with those you love!
We started the morning at 5 am at 77° and we are now 52° and still dropping.
I guess we are all in agreement with that statement. We had a thunderstorm and LOTS of lightning beginning way before daylight as the cold front came through.
One again, we were blessed. We were on the very edge and only got 2/10" of rain this morning.
Spring is here and there are some plants that are showing us their beautiful colors. However, it is so windy that any tulips that have come up are probably laying on the ground now.
Sunshine one day and a cold north wind the next. We have been above 90 and will be back in the 40's for several nights.
All we can do is share our smile with everyone we meet. I will be working tomorrow before the long weekend starts on Good Friday. See you soon.
Welcome to April. It is the beginning of a new month. And it is almost time for what? Easter of course!
I think that Easter has always been my favorite time of year. As a child, I had a Peter Rabbit that went everywhere I went.
I remember that Peter Rabbit got left behind in a motel once and had to be mailed back to me. Did you have a favorite blanket or stuffed animal?
We have bunnies all around us where we live but my dogs don't like them in our backyard. When bunnies are discovered, they have to run fast for safety outside of our fence.
Run! Hide! Seek! My dogs can still smell you, Mr Bunny! Do you hide eggs and do you color eggs?
Weekend is here! Happy Caturday! What are your plans?
Come on... you have to have something up your sleeve today or tomorrow.
Do you have all your grocery shopping done? Maybe you're going to Market Days with 400 vendors like my friend is doing today.
And her best friend is the Queen of shopping! They both always look their best.
Weather you are all dressed up for a weekend trip to do something exciting or to visit family or friends,
Or just staying at home watching sports, reading a book, or talking on the phone with friends, please remember to say a prayer for all those in the line of storms yesterday. There were 57 tornadoes reported over 7 states in 20 hours.
